The Village Panchayat is the main institution of running the administration of local affairs of the village. In the past also Panchayats were attached with great importance. The village administration was run by these Panchayats. The Panchayats performed their functions efficiently even in small villages. With the advent of Bruisers, the Panchayats got a setback. After 1880 the British rule in India made efforts to revive the local self-government system. It was only in cities that local self government paid special attention towards this end. Eighty percent of Indians live in the village & unless the condition of villages does not improve the country cannot make any progress. Mahatma Gandhi stressed the need of establishment of panchayats & of giving more powers to them.
